We decided to do Halloween this year. Last year Tommy dressed up as a hot dog at Bible study, but this year we realized that it is a big deal in our neighborhood, and since our neighbor Juliet was going out, we needed to, too. Here are Tommy and Juliet a few minutes before the […]

things I want to remember
Posted in Tommy on Oct 29th, 2008
Well, Tommy’s Right lower first molar has been bugging us for days, and tonight it finally popped through! I got (screaming) Tommy out of bed and had Derek take a picture of the momentous occasion (it was pitch black with just the flash, hence his closed eyes). Hopefully the screaming at our place will be […]
Crisis Averted!
Posted in Tommy on Oct 23rd, 2008
We had a close call tonight–Clarence the Giraffe (aka Dee) was MIA at bedtime! After an extensive house search, punctuated by Tommy’s screams of despair, I found the critter hiding under a pile of clothes. The clothes that Tommy didn’t wear today because we stayed in our pj’s all day because Mommy was feeling particularly ill. Tommy […]
Trip to the Pumpkin Patch
Posted in Tommy on Oct 20th, 2008
This morning Tommy and I went out to Wheaton to meet up with our friends, the Ritters. Amy and I took Tommy, Ian, and Anneliese out to Sonny Farms, this great pumpkin farm with lots of cool activities. Full facebook album here. Tommy had a blast!

Tommy has latched onto those two books (and Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, which isn’t nearly as annoying) like nothing else. He’s actually shoving The Night Before Christmas on my lap as I type. Why did I think […]
The potty chair
Posted in Tommy on Oct 15th, 2008
Since morning sickness and changing diapers don’t mesh well, I decided to get Tommy a potty chair and just see how interested he was. So far, it’s been a big hit! (As a toy, that is…) Now, I don’t think anything big is going to happen, because he’s still telling me he’s “pooty” AFTER he’s […]
Tommy: There’s someone missing from this stroller. Mommy: Don’t worry–you’ll have a sidekick around May 5! Tommy: Then I’d better practice my big brother skills!
We made a last-minute trip to Detroit this weekend to celebrate Uncle Matthew’s and Grandpa’s birthdays! Tommy had all sorts of “firsts” this weekend–first trip to a cider mill, first cider doughnut, first ricotta cake (Great-great Aunt Dee-Dee “accidentally” gave him some even though he’s not allowed to have dairy or sugar!), first citrus (in […]
